The Chinese city of Shanghai is set to be divided in half for a two-part lockdown which will see authorities roll out an experimental coronavirus testing regime. It comes after the city reported its highest daily number of COVID-19 cases since the start of the pandemic.
The Chinese city of Shanghai is set to be divided in half for a two-part lockdown which will see authorities roll out an experimental coronavirus testing regimeChina's"dynamic COVID zero" policy is actually two policies, depending on where you are.
To start with, and while cases were lower than they are today, officials relied on shutting down localised areas and testing residents, to stop outbreaks as they started - styled as the"precision" approach.Especially for smaller, more provincial cities - mass testing becomes unsustainable so the entire city, or the entire province in the case of Jilin, is put into full lockdown until cases die out.
Shanghai is trying something new: a targeted lockdown, but of the entire city, in two phases, to allow the testing of every single resident. 26 million people in total.
